3.2 Installation of the PBX

3.2.6Backup Battery Connection

The backup batteries and Back-up Battery Cable provide a backup power supply to allow full use of the PBX in the event of a power failure. In case of power failure, the backup batteries automatically maintain the power to the PBX without interruption.

User-supplied Items

Backup Batteries: VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) 12 V DC × 3

Back-up Battery Cable: KX-A228 (for PSU-S and PSU-M) or KX-A229 (for PSU-L)

WARNING

THERE IS A DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BACKUP BATTERIES ARE INCORRECTLY REPLACED. REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE RECOMMENDED BY THE BATTERY MANUFACTURER. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS.

CAUTION

Make sure that the Back-up Battery Cable is securely fastened to both the backup batteries and the PBX.

Be sure to comply with applicable local regulations (e.g., laws, guidelines).

Make sure that the polarities of the backup batteries and wiring are correct.

Make sure that you do not short the backup batteries or cables.

Use the correct type of Back-up Battery Cable for the PSU.

Notes

Turn on the battery switch on the PSU only after the installation of the PBX is finished and AC power is available.

The recommended maximum capacity is 28 Ah, to maintain effective battery charge.

Make sure that the type and capacity of the 3 backup batteries are identical.

The Back-up Battery Cable should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Keep the Back-up Battery Cable and the backup batteries away from heating appliances and fire. Place the backup batteries in a ventilated place.

For details about the backup batteries, refer to the manual for the batteries.
